Introduced and handed to a committee in the chamber it started in.

The committee holds it, and most bills are never heard from again. A hearing or a committee vote would be news; silence is the usual outcome, and it kills the bill without anyone voting against it.

Its path through Congress

  1. Introduced
  2. In Committee

A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution expresses support for designating July 15, 2026, as "Glioblastoma Awareness Day." It highlights that glioblastoma is a highly aggressive and deadly brain tumor with a low 5-year survival rate. The text notes the high out-of-pocket medical costs faced by patients and the lack of screening methods. It also mentions the importance of research, including the Glioblastoma Therapeutics Network. Finally, the resolution encourages public awareness, honors those affected by the disease, and supports continued investments in research and better treatments.
